Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts
iPad works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular
Internet-based email, contacts, and calendar service providers. If you don’t already
have an email account, you can get a free account online at www.yahoo.com,
www.google.com, or www.aol.com. To try a free MobileMe trial, go to
www.apple.com/mobileme.
For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate
environment, see “Setting Up Microsoft Exchange Accounts” on page 159.
Setting Up MobileMe Accounts
To use MobileMe on iPad, you can set up a MobileMe Free Account or a MobileMe
Paid Subscription.
A MobileMe Free Account lets you use Find My iPad—a feature that helps you locate
your iPad if it’s been lost or stolen, and protect the information on it (not available in
all countries or regions). See “Security Features” on page 44.
A MobileMe Paid Subscription lets you use Find My iPad, plus the following features:
Mail account at me.com Â
Over-the-air contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes syncing Â
MobileMe Gallery for sharing photos and videos Â
MobileMe iDisk for storing and sharing files Â
You can get a free MobileMe trial account at www.apple.com/mobileme.
A MobileMe Free Account is available to any customer with an iPad running iOS 4.2
or later. If you’ve already created an Apple ID for the App Store or Game Center, you
can use the same Apple ID to set up your MobileMe account. You can create a new
account if you don’t already have one.
